Lucy Mecklenburgh and Mario 'faced sacking after Twitter rants'

They were once love's young dream, but it all ended in tears for Mario and Lucy's love story.

But the pair were also reportedly in trouble with the show in March last year after ranting their feelings on Twitter.

According to The Sun, the brunette beauty angered TV bosses who threatened to fire the pair after she defended her man on the social networking site.

Lucy tweeted at the time: “Mario’s name has been tarnished because Towie producers didn’t do their research There is no proof!”

Mario joined in too.

"The producers are still lying to you all... Coronation street is more reality than TOWIE!" he Tweeted, then deleted. "Oh me and Little Chris set up our argument in the first episode, producers knew but still put it in - all very scripted!"

But a spokesperson for TOWIE claimed at the time they were simply off on their hols and would return to the ITV2 show after: "With regards to Lucy and Mario, they're just taking a short break from filming to get away from it all following those cheating rumours.

"We think they'll go on holiday and we'll catch up with them when they're back."

And so they did. Phew.

Arg poses completely naked on Twitter shocking everyone

Ooer

We can think of a few TOWIE stars we wouldn't mind seeing with their kit off, but Arg doesn't spring to mind straight away.

Nevertheless, a naked selfie of Arg was leaked onto the internet in March.

The naked snaps of the serial shagger were revealed on Twitter in May last year and appear to be screengrabs (not a euphemism) from a Skype chat with a female.

While some people wrote about their shock and disgust at the graphic naughtiness, others complimented Kirk on the size of his manhood.

And the eagle-eyed among you will notice that Kirk is also smoking a cigarette while yanking on his dangly bits, which might just be something young people do these days.

Within a few hours of most of the interweb seeing his baby-maker, Kirk told his one million followers: “F*******ck!!!! People these days!!!! Cooooome oooonnn guys we have all done it I'm just the stupid one that got caught! Sorry guys :-(.”
